About This Quiz

Beautiful hairstyles, clothes and makeup are all here to make you feel more confident in yourself. You probably know what kinds of products you like, but how often do you actually step outside your comfort zone? After all, beauty isn't just about feeling comfortable; it's also about taking some risks once in a while.

So what exactly is a beauty risk? Well, if you look around you, you'll notice that many people wear certain clothes and makeup that are considered "normal." This may include black eyeliner, blue denim jeans, pink lip gloss or black booties. But what about clothes and makeup that aren't thought to be so standard? What about purple eyeliner, black lipstick or orange blush? Or, how about styling a floral top with a leopard skirt? These are some examples of beauty risks because they go against the "norm" of the beauty world.

While it may seem strange at first to see someone showing off avant-garde makeup looks and outfits, look a little closer. Their confidence is shining through their unique sense of style, and that person could be you! So go a little crazy today with your makeup, fashion and hair choices, because this beauty quiz will determine how much of a risk-taker you really are!
